Newbie Model of the Week - where are they now?
I've been involved in Craig Seay's theLIST and the Newbie Model of the Week Contest at some level since they began in late 2007 and early 2008. Working on some photos from a recent shoot with Samantha Christian, our 68th Newbie Model of the Week got me thinking about all of the new models I've worked with and seen during my involvement in these programs. So let's start a tribute thread to the past nominees for this contest to show where they have come. Here are some simple guidelines: Any model entered in the contest is eligible - we have always said that all contestants are winners. Photographers who have worked with these models - subsequent shoots with NMoW nominees? Post them! Post photos created since the contest nomination - please don't simply rehash the nomination images. Any photos showing the model's progress - but if they are newds, please use a link and mark it 18+ I'll start it off ... Nov 19 09 07:36 pm Link The lovely Samantha Christian was voted our 86th Newbie Model of the Week on 11 August, 2009. Samantha embodies the traits that I seek in a model: intelligence, self confidence, an artistic bent as well as a unique and outstanding look. The idea behind theLIST and Newbie Model of the Week is to help new models attain their potential by getting them started on the right foot and giving them a sense of what to expect in the freelance world. Samantha has taken these cues and has run with them - a very rewarding investment for both of us. Without further ado here are some recent photos of our rapidly developing model, hardly a newbie after just a few months: http://www.modelmayhem.com/pic.php?pid=14918945 18+ http://www.modelmayhem.com/pic.php?pid=14918767 18+ Nov 19 09 07:36 pm Link Cool idea Tom~!! Can't wait to see more~!! Nov 20 09 12:30 am Link Hey everyone! I was Newbie Model of the Week #2. Tom sent me the post to this thread, to showcase how we've grown as a model, so here it is. Here was the original submission by photographer Digiography (#45731) https://www.modelmayhem.com/po.php?thre … 858&page=2 And here are a few of my shots since then... Hope you enjoy them Tiana Nov 20 09 06:42 am Link Thanks so much Tiana. It is great to see the body of work you have built, simply beautiful! I remember when Grant nominated you, I thought so many of my favorite models are from that Buffalo/Rochester/Toronto triangle lol I hope some day we will meet when I'm up that way.

I really do owe the exposure to LeDeux, who is so magnificent at seeing a woman's true beauty, and strives to capture it in his lens. I have no idea which week that I was nominated for, but here are some images that LeDeux and I created. since, I have had the pleasure of working with many photographers that I adore!!
